Description :

Join us for an engaging evening with Dr. Rachel Fish, one of the world’s leading voices on Jewish identity, education, and confronting antisemitism. In this timely and important conversation, Dr. Fish will explore how antisemitism has evolved from its historical roots to its modern expressions in politics, culture, and everyday life. Together, we’ll unpack the historical patterns of antisemitism, analyze its contemporary manifestations—both online and offline—and discuss how Jewish communities and allies can work together to build a safer, more informed, and resilient future.

This event will be moderated by Bryan Borzykowski, journalist, president of the Canadian Jewish News
